Saturday Night Live (SNL) 2011-2012 Season thread

Season 37 of SNL starts on September 24, 2011. NBC has announced the host and musical guest for the first two episodes:

Sept 24 - Alec Baldwin and Radiohead

Oct 1 - Melissa McCarthy and Lady Antebellum

Baldwin's appearance will be his 16th as host, a new record for most SNL shows hosted (and passing Steve Martin's 15 shows as host). There's been no announcement of any changes to the cast from last season.

I worry that Wiig and Sedakis' recent Hollywood successes will mean their departure from the show in the not-too-distant future. I can't see either of them sticking around for more than one more season.

She was a highlight of "Gilmore Girls" and is totally wasted on that turkey of a show "Mike & Molly". I do hope her success with "Bridesmaids" gives her more opportunties.

I've never watched Mike & Molly, but it didn't look to be any different than the standard couple sitcom. Save for the size of the couple. But that didn't interest me. She was great on Gilmore Girls, though. Hope she does a nice job on SNL.
